After an action-packed start to the term, the Supreme Court returns to the bench next week for the first winter oral argument sitting. And while the term was frontloaded with headline-grabbing cases<\/a>, the court has a few high-profile cases coming up \u2014 and even more waiting in the wings.\u00a0<\/p>\n In February, the justices will hear two cases involving whether tech companies can be held responsible for content posted by their users. In Gonzalez v. Google<\/a> and Twitter v. Taamneh<\/a>, the families of victims of ISIS terrorist attacks sued Google, Twitter and Facebook for allowing ISIS to use these platforms to post videos, recruit members, and generally spread their message. The cases turn on whether big-tech companies are editorializing when they create platforms that use algorithms to promote and recommend third-party content.\u00a0<\/p>\n
